the first two weeks of school

The first two weeks of school of been exhausting and busy. We have been busy busy learning all our brand new routines and procedures. My class is so sweet and already have me laughing. Here is a look at what we have been up to.

We had fun with with our names. We counted the letters in our name.

We read A my name is Alice and made this cute craft from Deanna Jump's fun with names math and literacy unit.

We rainbow dotted our names with bingo markers.

We read Chrysanthemum and graphed how many letters we have in our names.

We graphed how do you get home from school from Deanna Jump's back to school unit.

We also graphed boys and girls in our class.

Oh my I am in love with Miss Viola Swamp from Julie Lee. They turned out adorable. After reading Miss Nelson is Missing we compared our class to Miss Nelson's naughty class.

We also made No David from Julie Lee and talked about being a peacemaker versus a peacebreaker.

How did you make the face for the boy and girl graph ?, they are so cute. I posted a link to your blog at my Facebook group: ESL/EFL Preschool Teachers. Your ideas are great for English Language Learners.

gosh-I loved all your ideas until I saw your example of Anchor charts- Especially the colors that make sense!!!! Dr. Seuss, Claude Monet and Picasso would cringe at that example. And for Goodness sakes- please let kids color outside the lines! That is where the magic happens
